This seems really counter intuitive from a user perspective. If i have never installed flash, go to a page with flash on it, click a link to install flash, then go back to the page, I will be wondering why exactly it doesn't work. It seems an unnecessary extra step for the user to have to refresh the page. I swear that version 1.5 did not have this problem at all.
